William-Victory Posted February 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2019 A lack of Blocks is blocking my ability to work. An impasse some might say. My usual source Syren is out of stock. Does anyone know where I can get 2mm, single and double sheaves? thibaultron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtvd19 Posted February 8, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2019 If you started with Syren blacks for your current build I would wait for them to be back in stock. Any others on the same model will stand out like a sore thumb in comparison. Place an order with Syren ASAP and work on another area in the meantime.

jhearl Posted February 10, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 10, 2019 I have not seen these blocks in person so I can't say how they compare to Syren blocks, but ME is selling some nice looking ones now. https://modelexpo-online.com/Falkonet--F20B1--Single-Block-2mm-Pear-Wood--Pack-of-10-pcs_p_1921.html Cheers - John thibaultron 1 Quote http://modelboatyard.com Recently Completed: Chesapeake Bay Buyboat - F.D.

William-Victory Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted February 10, 2019 My skills have diminished slightly. I’m back to relearning how to make hooks of brass wire. Ryland Craze, paulsutcliffe, thibaultron and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-Victory Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted February 12, 2019 I only have a few more ‘hooks’, one block made and working on more crew. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-Victory Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) After doing some reading on scale rigging I have decided to relax hopes of accuracy. Intitially i hoped to seize all stropes and beckets. Doing a simple overhand knot and a dab of CA actually looks better.
